based graphics cards in the world to support hardware monitoring and fan speed adjustment.
Powered by the ATI® RADEON™ 9800 PRO, the world's fastest visual processing unit, the Tachyon G9800 PRO emerges
as the top choice for demanding gaming applications. It features a 380MHz clock speed, 128MB DDR memory, 256-bit memory interface, and 8-pixel pipeline architecture.
Designed around the ATI®
